Futurama Fry

16 upvotes will probably get you to the third or fourth page of the Hot pages. Then it may get additional upvotes after that. There are a lot of different reasons why some memes get more upvotes than other memes. Often really good original memes don't do as well as knee-slapping reposts. In the end it is all about how many people upvote your meme. What can affect it? Timing as to when the meme features. If it features when less people are online, less people will see it. Topic/subject of the meme. If it is about something that not everyone is familiar with, some people won't understand it, so less upvotes. Third page is quite respectable. Funny or surprisingly funny? I found memes that have a surprise in it, an unexpected twist, turn the third/fourth pager into a front pager. Or it could be something simple, clever and refreshing. Never give up, front-page comes when you least expect it. In the meantime, have fun making memes and contributing to the community. Good comments on front-page memes can get you some good attention too.

Extremely well said. Like sewmyeeysshut said this should be something that they put in the Contract for Imgflip. haha.

Well said. That should be part of the sign up portion. But who reads terms and agreement.

I guess it's understandable that people believe this, but it isn't true. Most of my memes don't make it to the front page.

I'm sorry. I actually meant to put most in the meme but totally forgot I guess. I know a lot of ya'lls memes don't get to the front page but most of them do. Sometimes I just think it's kind of unfair to all the other meme-ers out there.

It's not even most. Of my memes maybe 1 out of about every 8 or 9 get to the front page. The front page is hard to reach.

Mine? 1 out of every like maybe 20 xd
